Dance Marathon (U-M)

Student Organization

Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan (DMUM) is a student-run non-profit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for pediatric rehabilitation programs at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Contrary to popular belief, we are not a dance group! Throughout the year, our members foster relationships with our DMUM families and prepare for VictorThon where we stand for 24 hours to show our support FOR THE KIDS! There are countless ways to get involved with D. We seek to provide resources and opportunities for children with disabilities and health challenges to be able to experience activities that are often inaccessible to them. Furthermore, we advocate for correct language around ability status. For us, social justice is the practice of empowering disabled children to feel included and valued so that they can just be kids!

Give-A-Day Fund

Student Organization

The Give-A-Day Fund engages the Ross and broader UofM communities with the social impact community by providing financial assistance to MBA students interning with impact organizations, which often provide interns with little to no salary. As its name implies, MBA students and supporters are asked to donate a day of their summer internship salary to make this support possible. This academic year, we are looking to raise $30,000 to support 20 students interning with impact organizations.
